Border Azan: One Call Unites India-Pakistan Villages for Iftar
•During Ramadan, border villages in India and Pakistan share a unique tradition, breaking fasts simultaneously.
•The Azan from Pakistani mosques signals Iftar for Indian villagers in Barmer's Chande ka Paar, Banne ki Basti, and Padariya.
•Villagers rely on the cross-border Azan instead of clocks or phones to determine fast-breaking time.
•Muslims on both sides pray at the same time, with Azan audible for kilometers due to close proximity, like Banne ki Basti (India) and Musa ki Dhani (Pakistan) being just 3 km apart.
•This tradition, according to Sharif Khan, is years old, providing a reliable signal for Iftar, connecting hearts despite the border.
